The Delaware Department of Justice has dropped charges against most of the remaining defendants in a murder case stemming from the 2017 takeover of James T. Vaughn Correctional Center, which left veteran corrections officer Lt. Steven Floyd dead.

The DOJ said in a statement Friday that it would only proceed with charges against three of the nine inmates still waiting to stand trial for murder and riot in Wilmington. The decision came after two trials produced just one murder conviction against seven defendants who had been tried in the case.
